Mary Roberts Rinehart
Used to move so much, every time the chickens saw the team put in the wagon, they'd lie down on their backs and hold their legs up to be tied!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Young Doctor Arden was gong through the process of reorienting himself after a night's sleep.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose it is because woman's courage is mental and man's physical, that in times of great strain women always make the better showing.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
A cat and a Bible, and nobody needs to be lonely.
